The
Important Art of Western Realist

William
A. Moore

1936-2010

Reno,
Nevada

William
Moore's art has been recognized in the important collector monographs of Davenports
Art Reference, Fieldings, Samuels, Western Artists of America
and Painters of Nevada, 1845-1980.

At
the mere age of 13, Billy Moore sent a request to his hero Charles R. Knight to
create a sketch of the Tyrannosaurus. Knight was so excited to hear from such
a precocious youth that he even included a personal letter with his lovely rendition.
In 1956, William Moore won the General Motors Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild National
Exhibition for his car design. And in 1968, he accepted a position as Head of
Design for Lear in Reno, Nevada. The wonderful landscape of Nevada with his love
of history and almost superhuman attention to detail has molded this very complex
artist. His paintings and prints of the West exhibit a fantastic and unique edge
like no other artist we have met. Please
take the time to review his on-line gallery, where he has outstanding art to purchase.
